Pranlas-Descours Architecte   Paris

The architectural models that form the mainstay of this exhibition are the most important tools in the design work of the Pranlas-Descours Studio. Providing an apercu of the structure before it is made material, these models show the Studio’s housing and public building projects in their settings and in their tectonic translations.

Although the exhibition’s title brings together the words Architecture and Situations, this association is less a reference to an identity-based contextualism than to the idea that architecture primarily builds reflections and representations in which settings are cultural, political and social ​“environments”. In each case, these environments must be reformulated and reconsidered in the light of History, Art and Politics, in the widest senses of the terms.
